Rapper Vasily Vakulenko, better known as Basta, said he would not organize a fight between an MMA heavyweight Alexander Emelianenko and rapper Djigan as part of his Gazfight promotion.
“No, of course I wouldn't. In show business there is a place for everything, but in music it is also interesting for me to do something amazing, big, worthy and serious.
I am sure that a lot of wonderful people will want to have fun and make such a fight. I'm not interested in this. There are big and serious athletes who want to show their level and reach new heights.
I myself had suggestions of such a plan: to jump out somewhere, put on a show with a decent bag that would even fall. When I listen to this, I get the feeling that people have a deformed picture of the world.
Yes, now such shows are gaining momentum, but I am interested in doing something real, where I will be useful. For me, boxing is an unimaginable height.
I would like children to watch fights and enjoy boxing, they would like to do it. Freak fights have the right to exist, but I would not do them, ”Basta said.
Matchmaker of Basta's promotion: "We are planning to make a fight to Sergey Kovalev"
